Suspend completely freezes computer

[skunkbad]

I've got a Dell Inspiron 3647 with Ubuntu 14.04 installed. I completely wiped out Windows, as I don't need it, so it's a fully dedicated Ubuntu computer.

I bought the computer on Amazon, and this is the one I bought: amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0HMR8G

Twice, immediately after suspending, the login screen appears and the computer is completely frozen. The mouse won't move, and the keyboard doesn't respond to anything, even [Ctrl-Alt-F1]. The only thing I can do is hold down the computer's on/off button and force the computer to shut down.

This happened today. I was using a terminal, Firefox, and Sublime text editor. Workspaces are enabled, but I was only using a single workspace. I've been learning some Bash scripting, so I wasn't doing anything serious.

The computer normally suspends just fine, and have never any other problems with the computer, although it is only about a month old.

Is there any way to track down, perhaps view an error log or something, so I can offer some information to you, and you can help me figure out what the problem is?

I had a theory that it might have to do with enabling workspaces, because the first time it happend was shortly after enabling them. Any chance this might be the case with your Kubuntu?
